To
replace
an existing appliance with another one (for example, upon hardware
failure) you can restore the settings saved on your previous appliance and
reactivate your license (through Device > License).
n
To
duplicate
an existing appliance you can restore the settings of the original
appliance on the new one.

Restoring settings of a different version is supported, but not automatically
between every two versions. If the restore action is not supported between two
versions, the gateway does not allow you to restore the settings.
Note - The upgrade path from 700 to 1500 appliances is currently supported only for
locally managed devices.
Using the Software Upgrade Wizard
Follow the instructions in each page of the Software Upgrade Wizard.
Click Cancel to quit the wizard.
Welcome
Click the Check Point Download Center link to download an upgrade package as directed. If
you already downloaded the file, you can skip this step.
Upload Software
Click Browse to select the upgrade package file.
Click Upload. This may take a few minutes. When the upload is complete, the wizard
automatically validates the image. A progress indicator at the bottom of the page tells you the
percentage completed. When there is successful image validation, an "Upload Finished"
status shows.
Upgrade Settings
The system always performs an upgrade on a separate flash partition and your current-
running partition is not affected. You can always switch back to the current image if there is an
immediate failure in the upgrade process. If the appliance does not come up properly from the
boot, disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. The appliance automatically reverts to the
previous image.
Click the Revert to Previous Image button on the System Operations page to return to an
earlier image. The backup contains the entire image, including the firmware, all system
settings and the current security policy.
When you click Next, the upgrade process starts.
